By use of the gauge-invariant variables proposed by Kodama and Ishibashi, we obtain the most general perturbation equations in the $(m+n)$-dimensional spacetime with a warped product metric. These equations do not depend on the spectral expansions of the Laplace-type operators on the $n$-dimensional Einstein manifold...

Even if Einstein's General Relativity achieved a great success and overcame lots of experimental tests, it also showed some shortcomings and flaws which today advise theorists to ask if it is the definitive theory of gravity. In this essay we show that, if advanced projects on the detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs)...

We show that the area-angular momentum-charge inequality (A/(4\pi))^2 \geq (2J)^2 + (Q_E^2 + Q_M^2)^2 holds for apparent horizons of electrically and magnetically charged rotating black holes in generic dynamical and non-vacuum spacetimes. More specifically, this quasi-local inequality applies to axially symmetric cl...

In the present work, we study slow-roll inflation in scalar-tensor gravity theories in the presence of both the non-minimal coupling between the scalar field and curvature, and the Galileon self-interaction of the scalar field. Furthermore, we give predictions for the duration of reheating as well as for the reheatin...

Remarkable efforts in the study of the semi-classical regime of kinematical loop quantum gravity are currently underway. In this note, we construct a ``quasi-coherent'' weave state using Gaussian factors.

We show that with a small modification, the formulation of the Einstein equations of Uggla et al, which uses tetrad variables normalised by the expansion, is a mixed symmetric hyperbolic/parabolic system. Well-posedness of the Cauchy problem follows from a standard theorem.
